An archery target featuring a black and yellow striped design resembling the insect of the same name provides a high-contrast aiming point for archers. This distinct pattern, often printed on a foam or bag-style target, facilitates precise shot placement and analysis, particularly at longer distances.
The vivid color contrast enhances visibility, making these targets useful in various lighting conditions and environments. This aids in improving accuracy and developing consistent archery form. The recognizable pattern also contributes to their popularity among both novice and experienced archers. Historically, high-contrast targets have been favored for their practicality and effectiveness in training and competition.
